Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Member’s question in this specific area because it has been a real critical issue in the community and also for the Northwest Territories. Yes, this has been an issue nationally, as well. I just came back from a Winnipeg meeting with the Justice Ministers from provincial, territorial and federal, and this was an issue; our jurisdiction and also Nunavut. We talked about various options and at the national level they’re talking about introducing the bylaws, introducing community policing; the special constable was one of them. That’s an ongoing discussion and we’re hoping that we’ll see some positive results out of that in the early new year. Then again, the senior staff with the RCMP and our Justice department are working closely towards that initiative. Mahsi.
